    Kōloa Thai Bistro is was a great find! It’s close to the Poipu beach area where we are staying and located in a two story shopping building on the second floor. Request and inside table if you will be enjoying cocktails and/or wine, as they are not permitted on the outdoor tables. The wine list by the glass is small but it had both a red and white French wine that we enjoyed! The hospitality, promptness, and food was outstanding. We ordered the egg rolls, Pad Thai and a Hawaiian stir fried rice dish with chicken, beef and shrimp. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. If you are looking for a casual place to eat with great food, this is the place!

    Awesome service from the moment we arrived until we paid our bill. The edamame was delicious but OMG the curry ramen and G-special ramen were simply amazing. We will be back (maybe even on this trip!).
